MovieCaptioner

Watch this short demo and see how easy it is to caption your videos!

Just load your movie, set your text/background properties, then click the Start button. MovieCaptioner will start playing the first 4 seconds of your video in a loop.

Just type what you hear in that loop and then hit your Return/Enter key to record that caption and it's starting timecode.

MovieCaptioner will then automatically move on to the next 4 seconds of your movie. Just keep typing and hitting your Return/Enter key until you've captioned your entire movie.

It couldn't be simpler! If you can type, you can make your videos accessible for the deaf, increase your search engine optimization (SE0), and open your videos up to a much wider audience.

A setting in the Preferences window can limit the number of characters per caption when importing a paragraph or more of text. Plain text files can also be broken up into captions using carriage returns and then imported as Text in Line Form so that each line will be a separate caption. Note that plain text files and files of other formats should first be saved as UFT-8 Encoding with Unix line breaks (typically an option in text editors when doing a Save As) for best results. This should prevent unsupported characters, such as tabs, curly quotes and curly apostrophes, ellipses, em-dashes and en-dashes from being introduced into your captioning project and possibly throwing a monkey wrench into things.

After importing plain text files, you can use the Set Timecode button to synchronize the captions with your video. Just click Set Timecode, then keep clicking your Return/Enter key at the beginning of each caption when you hear it start. It will record the timecode when you hit the key and highlight the next caption for you to listen for.
